The new Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG stands for efficiency and
performance, exclusivity and a superlative driving
experience. Running on 11.8 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres
(NEDC combined, 276 g CO2/km), the high-performance SUV
undercuts its predecessor by 28 percent. The basis for low
fuel consumption and top-class performance is provided by the
AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine with a maximum power output
of 386 kW (525 hp) and a peak torque of 700 newton metres,
representing an increase of 11 kW (15 hp) and 70 newton
metres. The optionally available AMG Performance package
boosts the V8 engine's power output to 410 kW (557 hp)
and its maximum torque to 760 newton metres. The AMG RIDE
CONTROL sports suspension with newly developed ACTIVE CURVE
SYSTEM for active roll stabilisation, the AMG-specific design
and the broad scope of standard equipment and appointments
make for a highly attractive overall package.
The new ML 63 AMG comes with an exciting technology package:
the AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine features spray-guided
direct petrol injection with piezo injectors, ECO start/stop
system, an all-aluminium crankcase, four valves per cylinder
with camshaft adjustment, air-water intercooling and
alternator management. With a displacement of 5461 cc, the
eight-cylinder engine generates a maximum power output of 386
kW (525 hp) and 700 newton metres of torque. In conjunction
with the AMG Performance package these values rise to 410 kW
(557 hp) and 760 newton metres. This difference in power and
torque results from an increase in the maximum charge
pressure from 1.0 to 1.3 bar.
Both variants of the ML 63 AMG enable sports-car performance:
acceleration from zero to 100 km/h takes 4.8 seconds and 4.7
seconds respectively, while the top speed stands at 250 km/h
(electronically limited). With or without AMG Performance
package, the NEDC fuel consumption figure of 11.8 litres per
100 kilometres (276 g CO2/km) remains the same.

Efficient and variable: AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC
Power is transmitted to all four permanently driven wheels by
the AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC. Featuring three modes and
an automatic double-declutching function for downshifting,
this seven-speed automatic transmission offers a
fascinatingly broad scope of variability. In "Controlled
Efficiency" (C) mode the ECO start/stop function is
active, shutting down the eight-cylinder engine when the
vehicle is stationary. "C" also stands for a gentle
accelerator and transmission characteristic with early gear
changes; start-up generally takes place in second gear here.
A green "ECO" symbol in the AMG instrument cluster
indicates to the driver that the ECO start/stop function is
active.
In the Sport (S) and Manual (M) modes the ECO start/stop
function is inactive and the engine-transmission combination
displays far greater agility. A brief and exactly defined
retardation of ignition and injection during upshifting at
full load additionally provides for shorter shift times
here.
Enhanced efficiency and driving dynamics
As efficiency-enhancing measures, the AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS
7G-TRONIC automatic transmission incorporates a new
fuel-economy converter with centrifugal pendulum, bearings
designed for reduced friction loss and a transmission-oil
thermal management system. Friction loss-minimised axle
gears, electric steering, an optimised belt drive, and
demand-responsive control of all ancillary units and pumps
all help to further reduce fuel consumption.
As previously, Mercedes-AMG deploys a specially designed
transfer case for the 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive which
distributes the engine power at a ratio of 40 : 60 to the
front and rear axle in the interests of high driving
dynamics. Furthermore, the AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension
with AIRMATIC package - consisting of air suspension,
independent damper struts, automatic level control and
Adaptive Damping System (ADS) - features for the first time
in combination with the ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM for active roll
stabilisation. This system, which comes as standard, employs
active anti-roll bars on the front and rear axles to
compensate the body's roll angles during cornering. In
addition to enhanced agility and driving enjoyment, the
system also improves driving stability for added safety at
higher speeds in particular.
Roll stabilisation, damping and suspension adapt
automatically to the prevailing driving situation, offering
both optimum ride comfort and maximum stability. The driver
is able to choose at the push of a button between the three
suspension modes "Comfort", "Sport" and
"Sport plus". The fully load-bearing air suspension
system is speed-sensitive, lowering the body at higher speeds
in order to minimise drag while increasing driving stability.
The AMG-specific elastokinematics at the front axle and the
more robustly designed rear axle stabiliser bar are
responsible for improved steering precision. The enhanced
drive train stands for optimum power transmission and
hallmark Mercedes reliability. The 4ETS electronic traction
control system which features as standard provides for
optimised grip when low friction coefficients apply.
AMG speed-sensitive sports steering, AMG high-performance
braking system
Electromechanical AMG speed-sensitive sports steering
features variable vehicle speed-dependent power assistance
and helps to save fuel, as the steering assist function only
requires energy when the driver actually moves the steering
wheel. The ML 63 AMG comes as standard with 5-spoke AMG
light-alloy wheels in 9 x 20 format, painted titanium grey
with a high-sheen finish and fitted with tyres in size 265/45
R 20. Tyres in size 295/35 R 21 on AMG light-alloy wheels in
10 x 21 format are optionally available. The AMG
high-performance braking system provides for the shortest
possible braking distances and high fade resistance,
featuring ventilated and perforated brake discs all-round in
size 390 x 36 (front) and 345 x 26 millimetres (rear).
Specific AMG styling with trim in matt silver chrome
The design of the new ML 63 AMG exudes self-confidence,
athleticism and power. The AMG bodystyling dominates the
front view: under the radiator grille with louvres painted in
high-gloss black and the large Mercedes star is a large
cooling air intake. Together with the two outer air intakes,
the central radiator grille provides for an effective flow of
air to the water, engine oil, charge-air and transmission oil
coolers. Fitted at the bottom of the AMG front apron is a
trim strip in matt silver chrome, which lends the front a
wider appearance while harmonising with the surrounds of the
daytime running lamps in the side cooling air intakes. The
headlamps cut a particularly high-quality and exclusive
figure in combination with the optional Intelligent Light
System (ILS). The AMG front apron is integrated with the
distinctive front wings, which are 10 millimetres wider on
either side in order to accommodate the large AMG light-alloy
wheels in elegant fashion. "V8 BITURBO" logos
identify the vehicle as the flagship AMG model in the
M-Class. Dynamically profiled AMG side sill panels establish
a visual link between the front and rear of the vehicle.
Another eye-catching feature is the AMG rear apron with its
simulated black air outlet openings. They emphasise the
vehicle's width similarly to the trim strips in matt
silver chrome, which cite the design of the front apron and
frame the AMG sports exhaust system. In contrast to the other
M-Class variants, the ML 63 AMG features two sets of chrome
twin tailpipes. The full and distinctive eight-cylinder sound
is an AMG hallmark.
High-quality, sporty interior
A sporty character and premium quality define the interior of
the high-performance SUV from AMG. This is embodied in the
electrically adjustable AMG sports seats offering pronounced
lateral support as well as the four-spoke AMG performance
steering wheel, which ensures optimum control of the vehicle
with perforated leather in the grip area, aluminium shift
paddles and a rim with a flattened bottom section. Aluminium
trim and the piano-lacquer retractable cover in the centre
console highlight the interior's dynamic and exclusive
flair. The standard leather upholstery includes contrasting
double topstitching and AMG badges in the backrests of the
front seats and the outer rear seats. Dashboard, armrests and
door panelling in AMG-specific design are finished in ARTICO
man-made leather with double topstitching.
The distinctively designed instrument cluster with colour TFT
monitor, AMG welcome logo and AMG main menu is exclusive to
the ML 63 AMG.

Safety of the very highest calibre
In line with the Mercedes-Benz brand philosophy, the new ML
63 AMG is the embodiment of the Mercedes-Benz holistic safety
concept of Real Life Safety, which is derived primarily from
what happens in a real accident situation. The extremely
robust passenger compartment, together with the front and
rear deformation zones, forms an effective basis for the
occupant protection systems. Up to nine airbags, activated on
demand in accordance with the accident type and accident
severity, can reduce the loads exerted on the occupants. In
addition to active safety systems such as the standard-fit
Brake Assist (BAS) or the optional BAS PLUS, which can help
to prevent an accident or reduce the severity of an accident,
the new M-Class features further enhanced passive-safety
measures to help protect pedestrians.
Both active safety and driver-fitness safety are improved by
assistance systems that will already be familiar, primarily
from the S-Class and E-Class. The standard equipment package
includes the drowsiness detection system ATTENTION ASSIST,
the anticipatory safety system PRE-SAFE® and a tyre pressure
monitoring system, as well as adaptive brake lights and the
ESP® Electronic Stability Program. Active assistance systems
such as Active Lane Keeping Assist and Active Blind Spot
Assist are available as additional equipment options.
The new Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG will be launched in April
2012. Overview of prices (incl. 19% VAT):
